An assistant Wayne County prosecutor testified in court Thursday that she feared her ex-girlfriend -- a Detroit police officer -- after she repeatedly stalked her after their relationship ended.

Shelley Drain testified in Wayne County Circuit Court that since their separation in 2008, Wedad Elhage has harassed her by e-mail, phone calls and text messages, followed her to work and her boyfriend's home, driven by her home repeatedly and harassed her current boyfriend.

Drain testified that she once had to call 911 when Elhage showed up at her boyfriend's house and wouldn't leave. Drain said that later that day, she went to go meet Elhage after she threatened to come back and assault her boyfriend.

"I was very frightened," Drain said.

Elhage, 46, who served more than 20 years in the Detroit Police Department, is charged with aggravated stalking, a felony that carries up to five years in prison. Her attorney, Charles Busse, said he expects Elhage to testify Monday when the trial resumes.
